Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a largely preventive chronic disease, which requires persevering self-management by maintaining healthy life style. Prevalence of Type 2 diabetes among Asian Americans are rapidly increasing, yet little is known about Asian Americans’ self-efficacy towards diabetes preventive behaviors. Thus, the present study examined self-efficacy on diabetes preventive behaviors (DPB) as a potential mediator in the association between diabetes and depressive symptoms among older Korean Americans. Data were driven from a cross-sectional study of 235 community-dwelling Korean American older adults (aged 60 and older) in 2013. The direct significant relation between diabetes and depressive symptoms became insignificant after self-efficacy on DPB was introduced, which demonstrates a full mediation effect of self-efficacy on DPB. Results suggest that even in the presence of diabetes, mental well-being such as depression of older adults can be maintained by having competence in self-management of their own health.
